2020 was terrible. I think.

​Colleagues,
 
Welcome back from 2020. We survived!
 
As part of preparing for 2021, Pam and I reviewed 2020. Honestly, with the passing of my mother-in-law and brother-in-law, June-December were the most difficult and depressing months I have lived through. Having COVID didn’t help either.
 
So, it was a bit of a surprise that, as we reviewed the year, our list of positive things grew and grew and grew. There is no doubt that 2020 was filled with many bad things on so many fronts. However, there were many positives as well.
 
You have likely already moved on from 2020, but it might be worthwhile to take a peek back one more time and identify three positive things that happened in spite of everything else. Consider asking yourself these questions:

1. In what positive ways did I grow last year?
2. What new skills or knowledge did I acquire?
3. How do I capitalize on my growth moving forward?

 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
